zdaemon problems galore

[Fluffy Tedster]

OK, every server i go into, except for the old school LOP server, is seriously pissed up. What i mean is, every server running a WAD such as d5 or whatever, leaves me with a messed up screen,if not that, then i can walk thru walls and stuff and its horendously lagged,if not that, then itll be on map 30 or some shit of original doom when the server is running a d5 wad.Also every server, except for old school lop, is appalingly lagged up(but i register 170 ping when it feels more like 600) The plasma is horribly stuttery, there can be 1 second OR MORE fire delay on some servers. The list is endless. What is going on?!?? I know im in UK and most servers are US based, but with old zdaemon, i had no problems at all. Could anyone please tell me what the hell is wrong with it, i find it bizarre that there are so mny errors, surely it cant be bugged up so much. Help please.

1st check Doom2 wad is 14,604,584 bytes

[Fluffy Tedster]

yep its that size. What now?

Check path to wads, try to ensure it's not got a space in the path, that was sometimes a problem.

going to settings and wad directories setup in zdaemon, my path reads C:\program files\doom ii for windows 95\ is that ok?

Doom2 for windows 95 is your problem I think.

Windows 98 Second Edition seems to be the only version of Windows that runs Doom properly. Why is that? In Win XP, does Doom run ok if you use the built-in kind of Win98SE emulator thingy?

I'd seriously recommend making your doom dir c:/doom2. Doom 95's default folders do nothing for making loading Doom ports easier.

Use "c:\progra~1\doomii~1\" instead of "C:\program files\doom ii for windows 95\", because that's how DOS recognises it. If that doesn't work, try changing one of the "~1"s to a "~2".
